What if the meeting is between people in EU and USA, where DST transitions occur at different moments?

- rightbyte 3y agoHmm ... if a problem is hard enough maybe just don't try to solve it? Treat the meeting time as a string, rather than a time, since it is ambiguous anyway what the organizer meant, and let the user figure out what the string means.

- demondemidi 3y agoAll the meetings are hosed for about two weeks. This is a known issue for anyone working with time zones that don’t change together.
- Kwpolska 3y agoCalendars like Outlook let you specify a timezone for the event. If it's set to Europe/Warsaw, the US goes out of sync for a few weeks. If America/New_York, the EU does. This still isn't a problem for a meeting between LA and NY, for example (unless the meeting is in the middle of the night).
- demondemidi 3y agoYep! I hate those few weeks between PST and CET.
